This is kind of the preface to my A:TLA fanfiction. The only thing about the original anime is probably going to be the bending abilites...Most likely there will be no mentioning or staring of characters from Avatar. And, oh my goodness! I'm writing in first person! Please tell me how well I did on it...or how bad.
I'm the only one in my family that isn't a firebender. Then again I'm the only girl, since my mom died twelve years ago. That was also when I was supposed to be showing my first signs of firebending ability. I was only four, able to function and notice, though not remember.
You see, about the same time a young child is able to walk and play, that same child would be showing signs of being a bender if they are one. If there are no immediate signs, the child has until they are ten to show them. I did not and was labeled "normal", to the great shame of my family. I got sent to a normal class room and had to avoid my "fellow" classmates that were firebenders.
While at school I was labeled other things. I was an outcast even from normal people, for I had grown up in a household of male benders. I was more likely to enjoy a firebending fight then playing with dolls. What girl would want to play with someone as weird as me?
Thus I was often kept out of the royalty's eye for my father was quickly climbing the status ladder. That was a huge perk of having five firebending sons that could serve in the military. Though women were accepted, non-firebenders were not.
Conclusion: When it comes to politics Kana does not exist, in school Kana is a freak, and at home Kana is a disgrace.
Question: Where does Kana, where do I belong?
